If you confirm the image will be replaced - you will -not have to press the Apply -button. - - - - - - -Convenience - -In the convenience tab you can configure some -options that make life easier for lazy people, like auto login or -disabling passwords. - -Please think more than twice before using these -options. Every option in the convenience tab is -well-suited to seriously compromise your system security. Practically, -these options are only to be used in a completely non-critical -environment, ⪚ a private computer at home. - - -Automatic Login - -Automatic login will give anyone access to a certain account on -your system without doing any authentication. You can enable it using -the option Enable auto-login. - -Automatic login comes in two flavors: truly automatic -login acts like you would expect automatic login to, &ie; -&tdm; will automatically login without expecting any input from the -user. Enable this using the Truly automatic login -option. If this option is not enabled, &tdm; will start normally, -enabling you to login as any user, and will only perform automatic login -if you kill the X server, ⪚ by pressing &Ctrl;&Alt;Backspace. - -You can choose the account to be used for automatic login in the -list below. - - - - -Password-less Login - -Using this feature, you can allow certain users to login without -having to provide their password. Enable this feature using the -Enable password-less logins option. - -Below this option you will see a list of users for which a password -is required, as well as a (by default, empty) list of users that do not -need to provide a password. When Enable password-less -logins is enabled, you can move users from one list into the -other, by selecting them and then clicking the ->> and << -buttons. - -Again, this option should only be used in a safe -environment. If you enable it on a rather public system you should take -care that only users with heavy access restrictions are granted -password-less login, ⪚ -guest. - -The Automatically login after X server crash -option allows you to skip the authentication procedure when your X -server accidentally crashed. Show previous user -will show the name of the last login already entered into the login -field in &tdm;. Some site administrators would consider even this a -possible security weakness, because potential attackers then know at -least one valid login. - - - - - - - - -
